<h4>Abstract</h4>
<p>This study traces the relationship between language policy activity
and multilingual social identity development through schools and homes
in a public school district implementing an English Language Learner
(ELL) program. The social impacts of language policies cannot be fully
understood without consideration of how they impact social identities
and opportunity for the populations they affect (Johnson, 2013; Shohamy,
2006; Tollefson, 1991). Power in language policy processes is seen as
multi-layered (Ricento & Hornberger, 1996), with teachers at the
heart. However, there has been little attention to the powerful role of
those whose language practices policy is meant to regulate: students and
parents. Using data gathered in the schools, homes, and communities of
multilingual students over the course of two years, this critical
ethnographic study provides ethnographic understanding of language
policy, language use, literacy learning, and policy negotiation on the
part of parents as they relate to social identity development.
Ultimately, the work extends exploration of the layers of policy
activity to the homes and communities of multilingual students and their
families, uncovering implications about the role of language policies
in shaping equitable educational opportunity. Findings show how
multilingual parents can and should be positioned as powerful
negotiators in language policy processes, leading to implications for
transformation in theory and practice.</p>
